Why start witha highlift? I mean they are cool, but they are expensive, and if you want a aftermarket chassis, i would forget it. I woul;d start with a tlt or a wheely king from hpi, A lot cheaper, and if you are only going to use the axles, i would say no to the hi-lift.
I would expect to spend around 300-500 dollars. The hi-lift alone cost around 300[X(]

what i'm trying to do here is turn the hi-lift into a half crawler/half basher/half xtreme air rig (yes i know that's three halfs, its a joke) rather than a full-blown, twist-it-in-half-and-keep-going kind of crawler

Those 3 halves dont really mix. And the xtreme air part......not with a highlift.

i think you want a trail truck with a faster motor, like a 27 or 35t motor. That is reasonable, but jumping?

I was thinking about getting a hi lift later on in the year and i was wondering what does it come with and what are the reccomended electronics and do you have to have rear steering cause i like the pistol grip kind of radio. LMK Somebody. Any help is appreciated.
